Each year, L2R partners with a different local charity. It's our goal to make a difference across all of central Ohio. For 2023, our charity partner is:

We are in a national crisis.

1 in 5 children are living with a significant mental health disorder and half of all lifetime mental health concerns start by age 14. Children don’t wear their thoughts on their sleeves, and we need to give them a voice. In some way, mental illness touches everyone. You may have a family member, friend, or child who is living with a mental disorder.

This is why Love2Reach is proud to announce that we are partnering with Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s On Our Sleeves, a movement for children’s mental health.

On Our Sleeves, powered by experts at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, helps break the silence and stigma around children’s mental health by providing access to evidence-informed educational resources to families here in central Ohio and across the country.

Since 2018, On Our Sleeves has reached more than 2 million people with free educational resources to start conversations, educate families, and boost mental health and wellness.

Every dollar raised will support the mission of On Our Sleeves. Below are just a few examples of the impact you can make:

• $1 brings On Our Sleeves content to a classroom in America.

• $25 delivers one On Our Sleeves Kindness Kit to a Classroom to help teachers build a more inclusive and welcoming classroom community.

• $225 adopts a classroom for an entire year by providing a 9-month classroom subscription kit to help teachers support their mental health and their students through various mental wellness strategies.

• $1,000 delivers Day Time Break Kits, developed in partnership with Ryan and Nina Day, to 30 classrooms. This program encourages mental wellness for students in sixth through eighth grade to help boost mental well-being.

Together, we will help create better mental health outcomes for kids everywhere. Learn more about the On Our Sleeves movement for children’s mental health at OnOurSleeves.org.
